Why Sales Managers Use Mobile Coaching

Sales coaching is a critical component in how managers develop their reps, help them hone in on new skills, and most importantly, push them to close more deals. However, even though sales managers recognize the importance of coaching, their initiatives still face several challenges:

Not enough time is spent coaching

Teams are spread across different locations and time zones

Logistics and travel are too much of a cost burden to the organization

Sales reps are not engaged

To overcome these common sales coaching challenges, businesses are turning to a new solution to help their managers excel: mobile coaching.

Mobile coaching solutions, like LearnCore’s Mobile Manager App, incorporate new technology that allows sales managers to coach their sales reps effectively, from anywhere. Sales managers love the flexibility, and sales reps enjoy a more engaging take on training.
